LETTERS TO EDITOR
OPINION

MICHAEL JACOBS
KATHRYN HEGARTY/THE CONVERSATION
What colour socks,
Mr Premier?
Intrigue may surround SA’s change of premier, but it’s
nothing compared to the dramatic - and sometimes
bloody - leadership transitions in other countries.
OH DEAR. Has it come to this? After an expert voice
analyst found not much new in the vocal contrasts between
Mike Rann and Jay Weatherill, where else can we go in
the desperate search for significance in this leadership
transition? Choice of socks?
It is as if there is some pre-determined quota of drama, intrigue and all the
rest in a transition, and if it is not met in the expected ways... Read more
Pit bull attack
Bob Lott
THE blame for the terrible death of a child mauled by a pit bull in Melbourne
can be at least partly laid at the feet of the Australian Quarantine and Inspection
Service (AQUIS). In 1992/1993 an agreement was reached that AQUIS would ban
three “prescribed” breeds from entering this country: the American pit-bull
terrier, the dogo Argentina and the Japanese tosa. Read more
Live export misery
Sharon Hutchings
THE cruel misery and pain caused by the live
export trade will continue to be exposed by
brave and ethical people like the amazing Lyn
White, despite attempts to cover it up by the
avaricious industry. It is blatantly incongruous
and shameful for our politicians to... Read more
What constitutes
bullying?
Child protection
expert Professor
Freda Briggs’
new book, Smart
Parenting for
Safer Kids, is
being launched
in Adelaide
tomorrow. This
extract from the book discusses
the all-too-common problem of
bullying.
BULLYING involves an individual
or group deliberately hurting or
controlling others. The behaviour is
usually repetitive and designed to
generate maximum distress and fear
in its victims. Bullying differs from
conflict insomuch as there is always an
imbalance of power. It can be physical
or verbal, but psychological abuse is
always involved.

Culture change in the AFL
AFL CEO Andrew Demetriou
constantly reminds us that
women love Aussie Rules and that
the AFL returns that respect and
allegiance. The key expression of
this regard, the AFL’s Respect and
Responsibility Policy, turns six
this year. It is designed, in part,
to instill in players and clubs’
culture a sense of the values held
and expected by the wider AFL
and Australian communities.
How’s that working out, Andrew?
Not so well, it would seem. The
McGinnity saga is just the latest incarnation, a bead on the strand of
a necklace strung in the last year by a collective effort at St Kilda, the
ongoing Andrew Lovett saga, and a number of regional club incidents of
sexual misconduct, some of which have been before the courts.
That’s not to suggest that no change has occurred. Historically, we
might not even have heard of the McGinnity incident. It may have been
“resolved” off the park, between blokes. There may have been a little
rejoinder of some kind.
In 2011, we instead have vocal and widespread condemnation... Read more
